One of the striking features about tho
streets today, has been man named William.
Evers, Macon machinist, who bears aloft
one of the famous Joe Brown pixies. 1t is one
of the originals, and he is proud of it. Evers
is the only man who had upon his head tho
cap he wore when he came out of the armyS
and wears besides, his old canteen and haver-
sack During the greater part of the day he
has carried portion of a colard on his pike
and has spent most of his time telling the
story of the pike and the collards.
When the Jackson artillery brought out
their old battle flag the crowd received it with
the widest cheers MI Davis clasped it his
| arms, and the tears tricllled down his furowed
cheeks Miss Winnie asked to be allowed to-
keep piece as a memento, and she tore big
| scrap from it to keep as a memorial of this
great occasion.
